Abstrakt: Any conflict in countries that process nuclear power plants raises concerns of the potential radiation injuries to the people in that region and beyond such as the current conflict in Ukraine. International healthcare organizations and societies should prepare for the potential scenarios of nuclear incidents. The Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) and its members, have recent experience preparing for this type of events such as the Fukushima incident in 2011. In this article, we discuss the risks of radiation exposure, current guidelines, and scientific evidence on hematopoietic support, including the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) for those exposed to nuclear radiation, and the role that the WBMT and other global BMT societies can play in triaging and managing people suffering from radiation injuries.
